Abstract

We report on an early-time inverse gain comparison between ion and neutron irradiated silicon bipolar junction transistors. We find ion irradiations to be an excellent simulator for fast-burst neutrons for early-time behavior and damage creation rates. In addition we report on an experimental to simulation comparison of transient gain annealing response. The simulations are from a physics based modeling approach that is being developed at Sandia National Laboratories as part of the Qualification Alternatives to the Sandia Pulsed Reactor (QASPR) Program. We find excellent agreement between simulation and experiment across a wide range of irradiation conditions. © 2006 IEEE.
